Oh, Lord, hear our cry
A nation groaning, looking to the sky
From the heart of South Africa, a sorrowful sound
Parents are weeping, their children are bound
Lost to the darkness, ensnared by the night
We pray for deliverance, for Your glorious light
Young souls are fading, like zombies they roam
Lord, bring them back, bring Your children home (Yes Lord)
South Africa's prayer, rising to Your throne
Heal our generation, make Your justice known
Break every chain, Lord, set the captives free
Let Your Holy Spirit reign, for all the world to see
(Hallelujah, Amen)
The streets cry for order, for truth to prevail
Against the darkness, our spirits won't fail
We stand on Your promises, Your power so vast
This season of struggle, it too shall not last
For criminality thrives, where hope seems to dim
But we trust in Your mercy, we trust only in Him (Thank You Jesus)
South Africa's prayer, rising to Your throne
Heal our generation, make Your justice known
Break every chain, Lord, set the captives free
Let Your Holy Spirit reign, for all the world to see
(Glory, Praise Him)
Hear our prayer, oh Lord, for South Africa we pray
Shine Your light, Jesus, turn night into day
